Riparin II (RIP II) is an alkamide isolated from Aniba riparia that has presented antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in acute stress behavioral models. This study aimed to investigate the activity of RIP II in a corticosterone-induced depression mice model. Corticosterone (20 mg/kg, s.c.) was
Essential oils (EOs) from leaves and branches of Aniba parviflora (Meisn.) Mez were obtained by hydrodistillation and their chemical compositions determined by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. Oxygenated sesquiterpenoids were the most representative compound class in both EOs (~ 40%).
Plant species are sources of active compounds that can fight and/or prevent damage caused by reactive oxygen species, which enables the development of natural products that can help to prevent premature aging caused by exposure to solar radiation. This study assessed the antioxidant and
Aniba canelilla (Kunth) Mez, popularly known as "casca preciosa" (precious bark), falsa canela (cinnamon-scented) Casca-do-maranhão (bark of maranhão), and Folha-preciosa (precious leaf), is an aromatic species of the Lauraceae family, widely distributed in the Amazon region. In traditional
The leaves and fine stems, bark, and trunk wood oils of Aniba canelilla showed yields ranging from 0.2 to 1.3%. The main volatile constituent identified in the oils was 1-nitro -2-phenylethane (70.2-92.1%), as expected. The mean of DPPH radical scavenging activity (EC 50) of the oils (198.17 +/-
Inflammation is a local tissue response to attacks characterized by vascular and cellular events, including intense oxidative stress. Riparin A, a compound obtained from Aniba riparia, has been shown to have antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity in vitro. This study was aimed at evaluating the
The odoriferous principle of Aniba canelilla (H.B.K.) Mez is due 1-nitro-2-phenylethane, the main constituent of its essential oil and also responsible for the plant's cinnamon scent. This nitroderivative was previously reported by their antioxidant, antinociception, cardiovascular, and vasorelaxant
Essential oils are complex mixtures of odorous and volatile compounds derived from secondary plant metabolism. They can be isolated from many plants by mechanical pressing or hydro- and steam-distillation and are known to induce a wide range of biological effects through their antibacterial,
